12:14 Pursue peace with everyone, and holiness, 4 for without it no one will see the Lord. 12:15 See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God, that no one be like a bitter root springing up 5 and causing trouble, and through him many become defiled. 12:16 And see to it that no one becomes 6 an immoral or godless person like Esau, who sold his own birthright for a single meal. 7 12:17 For you know that 8 later when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no opportunity for repentance, although he sought the blessing 9 with tears.
